The bots that know how to fish

Today is a week since it was launched New World, and the criticism has not stopped, and a small part of the players have already left the world, although of course, it must be taken into account that during the week the same time is not dedicated to play, but in the last 24 hours the highest peak of players has been 790,682 players, 17 percent less than the record achieved two days ago of almost 914,000 players.

Much of the dropouts are due to a very PVP-focused game being promised, but really more than 90% of players on any server have PVE mode enabled, so it is basically a game of leveling up, going from one place to another, seeing the same enemies, while everyone is locked in a race to see who goes up the fastest.

Once the ceiling has been reached, the gameplay options are already reduced, because you lose the advance of the game in exchange for battles in the purest Battle Royale style of 50 vs 50, and that if there are people, and that is that although the servers they are still full, more and more AKF characters running without moving (stuck to a wall running) and even armies of bots keeping the character moving so as not to be expelled from the game.

The player who noticed the proliferation of specific fishing bots was’Monsoon‘, and it is that fishing is more profitable, since it is less suspicious when another player passes and sees you fishing than running against a wall, something that a lot of people are starting to report as “chetos”, that is to say, every time they see an AKF player with these practices, they are reported so that Amazon takes some action and vacates its space for an active player.

“I made an account 5 days ago on a low-population server on purpose so I don’t have to deal with queues. There are 550 people in front of me tonight and I can’t participate in the war.

This afternoon I was doing a couple of quests when I found myself with about 25 players they weren’t in the companies constantly casting their fishing hooks … obviously not catching anything. I asked quickly in the help channel and they told me they were bots. I watched them for a while and yes, they were all bots. Some even with similar names.

So now it occurs to me that if there were 25 bots in that one place, Does that mean there could be several hundred more on the server? I go back to my queue of 500 people and wonder what about Amazon games?

How difficult is it to detect bot behavior? How difficult is it to have a person in charge of whispering to these people and if they don’t respond or react to a GM then they get banned for a day, then a week, then a month, and then forever?

We’ve already seen several people spamming $ 5 gold in global chat. So I’m going to ask here: What is Amazon going to do about bots that prevent real players from playing the game? “
